Not full month depreciation

Dear SAP Experts,

We have a need to calculate the fixed assets depreciation - not for the full month, but just the last 3 weeks of it.

For example, we post the APC as of 01/07/11. We need to depreciate our fixed assets from 01/08/11 to 01/31/11 only instead of posting the full-month depreciation amounts. The depreciation for January 2011 should be:

monthly depreciation amount/31 days in the month * 24 days (from 01/08/11 to 01/31/11 )

The remaining depreciation periods should be the full amount based on the depreciation key and useful life.

This is a one-time requirement and I was wondering what the easiest and automated way of doing it in FI-AA is.

Please advise.

Thank you in advance,

Inna

Dear KS_sap1,

Thank you for your feedback.

We do have the depreciaiton key GWG in the system. We are not very clear on how to use it in our case.

Dear amitsap7,

Thank you for suggesting to run uplanned depreciation.

I created a new transaction type to post the depreciation for 1 week in Debit. Then changed the depreciation key to MANU in the asset master. Posted the uplanned depreciation via ABAA and changed the depreciaiton back to LINH in the master data. The case is solved.

Hi Shayam,

Thank you for your prompt response.

Our company is going public and we have to post the fair market value of fixed assets to reflect the purchase accounting entries at a date which falls on e.g. 01/07/11. That's why we need to calculate the 3/4 of the monthly depreciation rate.

If we cannot switch from daily to monthly depreciation back and forth, is posting the depreciation for the first week of month back manually the only solution for us? Or is there any better (or more SAP standard) way of doing that?

Please advise.

Thank you in advance,

Hi Inna,

You can use either day or monthly dep as per the configuration.

If you want to do it on day basis then you have to do manual adjustment.

I dont find any other solution on that.

Hi,

What is the use of doing so?

You can do this only if you tick dep by day in dep key.

but once you do so you cannot change it to month calculation.
